[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 43557, member: 2708"] The two front brake cables were 70gbp combined. The same two at the Spares Co. are just over 100 gbp, but not in Featherlight of course. The clutch cable was 25gbp , however for a stock item like a Commando clutch cable, cost is just 12 gbp. Considering these were custom made, the cost was not excessive. Wait time was one week, plus shipping time. My thinking is that the Spares Co could have Venhills make up ten or twenty each of all Vincent cables, then pricing to them per cable ought to be similar to the Commando clutch cable. With markup added, the cost would still be reasonable and we would have a source for top quality cables that function better than ordinary cables. They should last longer as well. Jim: the kitchen is actually the laundry room, just aconvenient flat spot to lay the cables on:D Glen [/QUOTE]
